So frustrating to read this.

I hope it will gain traction but I doubt it will. As PussyGate (or whatever it's called now) proves, you NEED the tapes to change anyone's mind. Certainly people who already don't like Trump will believe these accounts, but without proof they are just confirmation for those who already know who this guy is.

Well, it's not like this is the first time he was accused.

Why would a man with this many skeletons in his closet be dumb enough to run for President after he got away with it? Did he really think no one was gonna dig into this?

The locker room defense tells me he doesn't seem to think this kind of thing is wrong.

Seems like a unfortunately large portion of the country doesn't care/agrees with this shit, so it sadly may not be that stupid.

Oh man. Can you imagine if Hope Hicks made an allegation? Or if in the middle of a press conference was like, "yeah, he does that."
 
Hopefully, this is the straw that breaks Trump's back. If not, I'm sure that more and more women will start to come forward with stories, just like with Cosby. The floodgates are open.

I dunno, these accounts play right into the narrative he set for himself on that bus with Billy Bush, and if more start coming forward... BAD TIMES AHEAD.

I suspect his ex-wives would have lots to say, but I've always gotten the impression that they are scared to death of him.

Trump has friends in low places. I mean, he's in NY/New Jersey real estate, casinos/gambling, boxing, construction ... you do the math.

CNN: "At what point do we come to the conclusion that he is a sexual predator?"

I hate Trump, truly, but they need proof to change minds. Accounts are worth virtually nothing, anyone can say anything.

Obviously - obviously - I believe these women and I also believe there are many more. But it's not enough to convince any Trump supporters.

Hmm. I'm going to steal a line from the Trump crazies who appear on CNN when they mention Bills accusers. "Shouldn't be believe these women too?"
 
I'm just imagining ways in my head that Kellyanne can get a question about this back to emails.

Okay, well, you know, Mr. Buffalo Man. The media just wants to talk about this. But, when you look, okay, at what happened, you'll see that it's really HILLARY who touched every woman in America when she ran an illegal server in her basement. And, you know, if she would actually talk about the issues that I...I mean the people...care about, you'd see that, she commands FIRE.

It was only a matter of time before women started coming out with stories like this. In the recording, he wasn't talking about hypotheticals, it sounded like he was speaking from experience.

He sounded like an old fart posturing to try and impress.

Still, I don't doubt at all that he did these things. The man has no concept of decency.

Oh he knew they would:

People want me to [run for president] all the time … I don’t like it. Can you imagine how controversial I’d be? You think about [Bill Clinton] and the women. How about me with the women? Can you imagine?

What changed his mind since then, I have no idea...

That's just depressing. Every time I hear someone try to downplay it I just want to ask them would they be fine with some man touching them without consent.

He is...egocentric

Man the ego needed to think you could keep cruising like that baffles me.

Oh he knew they would:

So he has some self awareness. He just decided to ignore it for reasons. Smh.

We are zeroing in on the most pure and perfect form of Drumpf's trademark projection.
This.

I can only hope that something undeniable and hugely damaging is coming. I think it is.

Seeing this disgusting pig disgraced in public would be so satisfying.

Disgusting isn't it? But they really really care about those emails. LOCKHERUP. Despicables. The only good thing I can say about Trump is that at least he is outing people for what they are. Now I know who to avoid. Might just save me an assault.
 
Oh wait I also forgot - "well if it's true why didn't they come forward sooner?"

There's comfort in communal support. It's hard to come out on a limb, but when there is mounting evidence, it's safer to come out. People who make that argument don't understand that.

I hate Donald Trump.
It's unfair that a person can act like this, be exposed and still end up better off than the vast, vast majority of people.
